Health care has experienced a number of key shifts since the year 2000. Driven by patients and others dissatisfied with the status quo, commercial pressures coming from corporate responses to inflation, rapidly changing technology, and more, palliative care is seeing these shifts as well.

To address some of these major health care trends, Dr. Wells Shoemaker will walk us through 8 of the most impactful changes and how they specifically relate to and affect palliative care.
Judy Thomas will join Dr. Shoemaker to provide a year-end retrospective of health care in 2017.
